Cheesecake stuffed strawberries

I have been on Pinterest for awhile and have pinned away so many recipes and great ideas but have never actually tried any of them. I skimmed through my pinned recipes and decided to start simple with cheesecake stuffed strawberries. They turned out really well and were very good!

The recipe:
1 lb. of strawberries
8 oz cream cheese
4 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Graham cracker crumbs

Rinse strawberries and cut around the top and remove it. Clean out the inside of the strawberry with a paring knife. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. (Add more sugar if you want a sweeter filling). Place this mixture into a pastry bag or ziplock bag and cut the tip off. Fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture and then dip the tops of the strawberries into graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate until serving.

These were super easy to make and only took a few minutes to prepare.
Tip: I love all my Pampered chef things and used the "Core and more" tool for removing the tops and hollowing out the strawberry. Easy peasy.
